2018 Fantasy Basketball Rankings: Center

2018 Fantasy Basketball Rankings: Center image

What do you want out of your fantasy basketball center? Rebounds? Blocks? Scoring? High field-goal percentage? High free-throw percentage (yes, really)? Three-pointers? Assists? Good news -- Fantasy Alarm's 2018-19 rankings feature players who can fill up whatever category you're looking for. The big man position has undergone a real renaissance, which is great if you need a mid- or late-round sleeper. Either way, your cheat sheet doesn't see a big dropoff in appealing options when it gets to the "C" section.

It's not all roses, of course. There are some old-school plodders who don't exactly have an outside shooting touch (or a free-throw shooting touch). There are also some guys who are much more offense than defense, meaning you'll need to look elsewhere for the majority of your blocks. Still, with several of the centers listed below also eligible at PF, you can feasibly grab one "finesse" center and one "old-school" center and enjoy the best of both worlds.
